Once Again I’ll Tell You About My Favorite Sunscreen
Posted by Missy W. @ 8:51 AM
I went to the dermatologist the other day because I felt sure I had sun damage all over my face from almost four decades of Not Enough Sunscreen. Turns out I was right. My doc whipped out her handy can of Freeze the Crap Out of Your Face and burned those pesky pre-cancerous cells right off. Now I look like I have giant blisters on my forehead and nose, because oh yeah, I DO. Not without discomfort, freezing your skin off.
My doc recommended I get some SPF 60 sunscreen that they had there. I looked at the ingredients and couldn’t pronounce any of it but saw lots of nasty lurkers like PEG blech and oxybenzone yuck. I told her I wanted to stick with the all natural stuff I use for my kids. She said as long as it had at least 5% zinc in it, it had her blessing. I was very happy to see that my all time favorite stuff, the illustrious TruKid line, has just that in the Sunny Days sunscreen stick.
Woohoo! My nose will be safe from skin cancer and the rest of my body will appreciate keeping all the yucky toxins out.
Side Note: I see that TruKid now offers a lot of their products in a fairly inexpensive travel size, which I think is an excellent way to see if you actually like a product.
